Infrastructure

Most bus conversions and RVs are designed to "dry dock" for very
short periods of time, such as a day or two. Dry docking is when
the vehicle is parked but without water/electrical hookups.
Oftentimes the RV only has minimal water and power availability
when dry docked, such as 12V lights and no air conditioning.

To me, this is similar to hibernation. Only acceptable on a temporary
scale. I want to have full power and utilities even though I
won't be docked at a campground. For non-vehicles, this is called
"off-grid" living. My intention is to design the bus so that it can
live off-grid with full power and utilities for over a week.

This makes my intentions and design very different from your classic RV.

Here's an initial look at the infrastructure - more info later.

Infrastructure / Energy

Water:

Have large enough tanks for 1+ week of operation.
Probably 200 gal fresh, 100+ gal grey, 50 gal black.
I'm looking into using composting to replace the black tank,
and keeping the grey tank organic-only, so it can be dumped.
If that's possible, I'll only need a friend to loan me a hose for fillup.
Use a flash (instant) water heater (propane?).

Use 802.11 with Yagi antenna where possible.
Cell phone as backup. Satellite?

Refill:

At RV/gas stations or friends house's when needed. Only sewage dump
and water fillup needed on a weekly basis. If I get solar
and a composting toilet, and I don't need A/C, then I could
conceivably only need fresh water for extended periods of time.

Transport:

Carry a motorcycle and mini-scooter for immediate transport.
Possibly tow a mini-garage with my car and tools.
